Now this is a true nightmare peoplez! My mom had always used to perm my hair when i was little, so I kind of always got used to her doing it. Well, when I was 17 (last year), I decided to start doing my own. Motions hair relaxer was what worked best on my hair- but unfortunately I didnt get all the spots in my head. So I asked a girlfriend from school if it was okay for me to just perm the spots I missed, even though this girl was no hair dresser! As a matter of fact her hair was extremely damaged but at the time I wasnt thinking. So I went to Walmart and bought a 5.00 home perm kit and re-permed my hair way too soon. My hair didnt break off immediately but within the next 4 days with every brush or comb I put through my hair- out came long strands of my hair. I`d run my hands through my hair and feel the extra fine and delacate pieces slowly breaking off. The sink was full of hair- as was the floor, toilet, and even my pillows. I wasnt losing hair from my scalp, but eventually my hair was uneven and I had to resort to getting a mushroom- type hair cut. Actually the cut did wonders for my hair because it`s grown back in a beautiful texture and it`s much more thicker and plus its in layers so if my hair decides to break again then it`ll just look like the style LOL! But as far as perms go- I learned not to do them so often and to get it right the first time. But if you`re in doubt- please see a stylist! And also- stay away from those bargain relaxers!
